Halloumi Glasgow

If you’re strolling down Hope Street in Glasgow and craving a modern Mediterranean vibe wrapped in a cozy, casual dining atmosphere, Halloumi Glasgow is where you need to be. Nestled at 161 Hope St, Glasgow G2 2UQ, this spot brings a taste of Greece right into the heart of the city, and not in a watered-down way either-this place delivers the full experience with style.

Let’s talk food-because that’s really where Halloumi shines. Whether you’re a mezze enthusiast or a full-plate kind of diner, the menu is bursting with vibrant options. The Grilled Halloumi and Pomegranate Salad is a fresh, zingy favorite. It’s got that perfect balance of salty cheese and sweet bursts of pomegranate seeds that keeps the palate guessing in the best way. Pair that with a portion of their Loaded Halloumi Fries (yes, double halloumi-no regrets) and you’re off to a delicious start.

For those who lean more towards the traditional, the Chicken Gyros is a crowd-pleaser-juicy, well-seasoned, wrapped in warm pita, and served with all the good stuff. Meanwhile, the Spanakopita, a flaky spinach and feta pie, is ideal for a lighter yet satisfying bite. Prefer something heartier? The Lamb Dolmades, served warm and generously stuffed, hit all the right notes.

Seafood lovers won’t feel left out either. The Swordfish & King Prawn dish is beautifully executed, and while it leans gourmet, it doesn’t forget that Mediterranean food is meant to be comforting. On the side, you might spot a cheeky little glass of Red Wine or maybe a Juice if you’re pacing yourself. There’s also a solid beer selection and if cocktails are your thing, don’t miss the Espresso Martini-it’s rich, smooth, and has that pick-me-up effect you didn’t know you needed mid-meal.

It’s not just about the mains though. Their Baklava is everything it should be-crispy, sticky, nutty, and layered with honey in just the right quantity. If you're feeling more experimental, try the Melitzanosalata, a smoky aubergine dip that goes perfectly with warm bread or as a complement to their Skewers-especially the Pork Souvlaki.

Let’s touch on the vibe, because Halloumi isn’t just about what’s on your plate. It’s got that perfect mid-century modern-meets-Greek-street-cafe aesthetic. Think natural wood, soft lighting, and just enough buzz to keep the energy alive without overwhelming your dinner conversation. The venue is wheelchair-accessible with both entrance and seating accommodations, though parking might be a challenge since there’s no designated accessible car park nearby.

Service-wise, Halloumi Glasgow delivers on convenience too. Whether you’re grabbing a quick takeaway, having your food delivered for a cozy night in, or dining in with friends, they’ve got you covered. And if you’re flying solo, don’t hesitate-they're popular for solo diners, thanks to the relaxed atmosphere and tapas-style dishes that suit any pace.

Another thing worth mentioning is the diverse dietary options. There are solid vegan, vegetarian, and healthy plates on offer, plus small bites and late-night food for those post-theatre hunger pangs. It’s also a great spot to chill with a coffee, and they don’t play around with their coffee game either-it’s strong, aromatic, and served right.

All in all, Halloumi Glasgow brings together casual dining with refined flavor in a space that feels both accessible and effortlessly stylish. Whether you’re after a light mezze spread with cocktails, a full souvlaki platter and wine, or just want to try every form of halloumi they serve (and you should), it’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger.
